Sink repair in Tickham without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Tickham
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Tickham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Tickham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Tickham
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Places near Tickham
What else we do in Tickham
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
